4 stars out of 5!
Disclaimer: I was sent a box of these unique snacks for a review consideration.
When I received a notification that the package was on the way, I was excited and curious about what kind of snacks I would be getting – “which country is featured this time?” So, when I got the package, I couldn’t wait to open it and find it out. Mine was from Turkey.
In the box there were 9 distinct snacks; some of which are more interesting than others. There were Ulker Cizi Vic Crackers with Cheese, Ulker Clip sesame sticks, HazerBaba Orange Turkish Delights, Sehrazat Tel Pistachio cotton candy, Ulker Chokolati (chocolate) Gofret Wafers, Ulker Albeni bites (chocolate bar), and 3 Malban delicacies.
The pistachio cotton candy definitely caught my attention when I opened the box. It looks very different from the cotton candy that I had in mind, so I then went to the page that was sent with the snacks which has descriptions of each of the snacks. The included descriptions of the snacks tell me a little bit of the background of the snacks, the main ingredients of the snacks, and what’s unique about them.
I appreciate how the snacks include both the sweet and savory kinds, and like other reviewers said, it wasn’t an afterthought.
What’s lacking IMHO is the complete list of ingredients for some of the snacks (e.g., the Malban delicacies) just in case one wants to check if there is anything in the snacks that (s)he is allergic to. (So -0.5)
The overall packaging was good, so none of the snacks was crushed. The choices were fine, but it’d be better if we could go online and choose them ourselves. (So -0.5)
In summary I think I’m excited for the outlook of the company, and if it wasn’t for this review, I’d never had tried out pistachio cotton candy.
TopMunch is a truly unique snacking experience for anyone who enjoys trying new things or learning about other cultures. Beyond the many delicious choices sent in each box, TopMunch allows their customers to better understand the culture where the snacks originate from.
Within my package, I received detailed information about the country and specific snacks inside. Also, each package includes travel tips and popular music from that country.
Overall I would say my experience was fantastic when considering everything from packaging to the cultural information, and of course the snacks. I would recommend TopMunch to anyone who enjoys learning about and experiencing other cultures and for those who are open to trying new things.
Just received my first box today and couldn’t be happier! Delicious Turkish snacks I had never seen and it was fun to send a picture to a Turkish friend! =) Looking forward to the next one and please keep up the great selection!
